Work:

  • I do operations for HiRISE.

    What does this mean?

    HiRISE (High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) is a high-resolution camera currently in orbit around Mars on the MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) spacecraft. We have the ability to take very detailed images of Mars in color and stereo.

    I help run the HiRISE camera: I help mostly with uplink planning, coordinating observations with other teams, and writing command sequences for the camera. I'm also involved in instrument health and safety monitoring, downlink data processing, validation and distribution.

    Let me know if you're interested in more details! I love my job, and I'm more than happy to talk about it. :)
